Guess who won this year’s Immunization Champion Award for the state of Oklahoma?!? We did!

Big thank you to Lisa for giving every one of those vaccines! And a shout out to all of our families who trust the science and who believe keeping their kids up to date on vaccines is as important as we do.

After Monday’s announcement about changes to the CDC vaccine schedule, I woke up Tuesday dreading going to work.

Would vaccine misinformation by the government increase the vaccine hesitancy?

Would parents feel they had to choose between trusting the government or trusting me?

How will I reassure families that vaccines are still the safest way to prevent illness, disability, morbidity and death from vaccine preventable communicable disease?

Then I walked in the first room to a mom and an 8 year old patient. And the mom asked that her child receive any and all vaccines available for her age.

My shoulders lowered, my body let out the breath I was holding and I relaxed.

You all, my patients, trust in science, trust that I am here to help keep your children safe and healthy, trust that I will always choose what I believe to be the best medical treatment/decision for your child, not the one that will make the most money, not the one that will make me the most popular,not the easiest one, but the one that is the right medical decision for your child.

I am so thankful for you all and welcome any questions.

Here’s a throwback of my kids and my niece wearing our favorite shirts. I’ll have mine on today too.

Looking for a last minute gift for a special kiddo? This list has the top 25 best picture books from the last 25 years. So many favorites of my family on this list but also some new ones we’ve never read. I also love af the end of each book description is a “if you liked this then we recommend this” list and “if you likes this, then read this when you are older” for further ideas.

Which picture book is a favorite at your house?

Back in 2010, a death knell in the New York Times declared that picture books were “No Longer a Staple for Children.” Many achievement-focused parents were sending their kids straight to chapter books, and when they did buy books, online, and away from helpful booksellers and librarians, they tended to fall back on familiar old favorites, usually Seuss or Sendak. But far from dying, the industry rallied, even publishing a manifesto—and a revolution that was quietly underway before that NYT article has flourished out into the open. Not just with more diverse books, either, but with books that reinvent the whole form.

To celebrate this revolution, Slate set out to figure out which are the best picture books published since 2000, surveying more than a hundred experts—authors, illustrators, editors, booksellers, librarians, academics—about their favorites. We read 200 picture books ourselves, to make our final determinations. The result is our list: The 25 Greatest Picture Books of the Past 25 Years. It’s full of innovative, subversive, delightful, moving, and hilarious gems, but it’s also a miniature history of children’s literature in the 21st century. https://slate.trib.al/vrNjrDz
